INTRODUCTION

Hi y'all

Bisepadi here (and definitely not queer so to all you Yaoi fan girls, there's the metaphorical door…)

Just you guys left, huh? Ah well. Guess you'll just have to do…

That being said, I guess this is like my what, second post on this site? (Checks) Yep. It's my second. So I guess I'm kinda stoked to do this.

Having trawled my way through literally hundreds upon hundreds of Naruto fanfics and fanart of varying quality, I figured it was about time I paid my debt to society and whipped up something of my own.

The following is the product of a sinfully decadent amount of free time and a little brother with an imagination in permanent orbit somewhere around utopia, so it's kinda experimental and all, seeing as I'll be trying to blend two of my favourite aspects in the Naruto universe; epic fanfiction and my vast collection of naruto fanart.

Putting it plainly, I'll be attempting to compose epic "snapshots" from my mind's eye and dedicate it to paper. Think of it as a sort of visualization exercise in which I, the writer, will attempt to paint a scene from the Narutoverse through prose rather than a paint brush (or Photoshop. Hell, I don't know what those wizards over at Deviantart do to make their stuff come out the way it does!)

Nearly all this stuff will be off the top of my head and non-canon. Also, while I might run away with one theme or the other for a while, most of my material will be non-linear too.

I'll be drawing inspiration from just about everything that stays still long enough to tickle my muse; from the actual manga, a few select fanfics and fanarts, my desk, the floor and any mystical arrangement I may or may not see in my mid-day lunch noodles. I will not; however, try to purposely infringe upon another author's or artist's intellectual property.

This being, at least as far as I know, experimental and all, I fully expect my initial jab at this to draw no more than a little blood, seeing as I plan to temper my writer's edge as I go along. Being only human can be such a chore at times…

Also, I'll have you know that English happens to be my second language (I'm Kenyan, so Kiswahili is my preferred language. Check me up. The country somewhere on East Africa) so expect a small spattering of grammatical mishaps here and there. I'm particularly notorious for my misuse of the comma and some of the other finer aspects of punctuation. So if it escapes the watchful eyes of my MSword spell checker, learn to live with it. Wouldn't mind a beta though, so if you think you can help me out in that department, you're all free to apply or send me an email or something. We'll do lunch.

Updates every week on Friday. Not to worry. I'd never purposely let down a dedicated reader.

Constructive criticism is encouraged being as I do expect to get better at this. Flamers stick your BS where the sun don't shine before I stick my foot up yours in its stead.

And finally; surprise surprise, I don't own Naruto. And if I had my way neither would good ol' Kishi. Far as I'm concerned, the bastard shot the manga in the stomach and left it slowly dissolve in its own gastric juices after all that "giant-sharingan-on-the-moon ten-tails-body-in-the-moon" cockamammy bull manure (gags)
